I was having a lot of problems with the system that included regression
test issues, and yelped about this one earlier than I normally would
because it was blocking work I wanted to get submitted today. Sorry
about the noise, and thanks for the info about why this was happening.
The way you've explained it now, I see why it's not worth adding a
specific regression test for this in the future, and what else I should
have checked when I ran into my problem (that other system stats views
were also working or not).
